Network Instantiate not working as described?

I'm attempting to instantiate the fps prefab, however it is not working like the documentation suggests.

Upon connecting, I have each client call Instantiate() on the fps prefab. According to the docs:

That doesn't happen. One client ends up controlling all of the instances.

That doesn't happen either. After the second client connects, the first client receives the Instantiate automatically, but the second client does not recieve the "buffered" Instantiate. The result: the second client can not see the first.


Maybe I misunderstood something?

 

I am using RemoveRPCs when the player is disconnected, is this incorrect? However, the error occurs before any players are disconnected.

The Network.Instantiate is also inside the OnConnectedToServer.

I'm a little confused. Should both the player and the other players it can see, both reference the same prefab? Or should the other players that you don't have control over be a separate prefab without a camera/inputs?

Here is the server code:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. function Start() {
3.     Network.InitializeServer(32, 25000);
4. }
5.  
6. function OnPlayerDisconnected(player: NetworkPlayer) {
7.     Debug.Log("Clean up after player " +  player);
8.     Network.RemoveRPCs(player);
9.     Network.DestroyPlayerObjects(player);
10. }
11.  

Here is the client code:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var playerPrefab : Transform;
3.  
4. function Start () {
5.     ConnectToServer();
6. }
7.  
8. function ConnectToServer () {
9.     Network.Connect("196.72.149.24", 25000);
10. }
11.  
12. function OnConnectedToServer() {
13.     Debug.Log("Connected to server");
14.     Network.Instantiate(playerPrefab, transform.position, transform.rotation, 0);
15. }
16.  
17. function OnFailedToConnect(error: NetworkConnectionError)
18. {
19.     Debug.Log("Failed to connect to server");
20. }
21.  

I look forward to seeing the new examples.

Thanks

"Network.Instantiate on the receiving client failed because the asset couldn't be found in the project"

This error is in the console when I try to instantiate a mesh on the server when a client connects. They are using the same prefab so I don't understand how assets can be missing. Any idea what this could mean?

 

any news on the networking sample project?

 

I've been able to Network.Instantiate prefabs successfully without a hitch, the only difference being that I haven't tried instantiating as a result of someone connecting. I can't imagine why, but maybe its having trouble because you're instantiating across the network while simultaneously connecting and there's some latency related confusion. Do you still have problems if you try to instantiate well after the connection has already been made?
